The Batman: 10 Predictions For Where Matt Reeves Could Take The Franchise

10. The Penguin Takes Over Gotham City

Reeves has confirmed that in The Batman, Colin Farrell's "Oz" hates being known as "The Penguin" and has yet to become the crime lord fans know from the comic books. With that in mind, it seems likely he's working for Carmine Falcone, a gangster the Caped Crusader will target in the 2021 release.

Once Batman defeats him, that will lead a void in Gotham City that the vigilante is unlikely to have anticipated. After all, this is a rookie Dark Knight who no doubt believes that taking down Falcone will stamp out crime for good. It makes sense then that he'll soon learn it's not that simple, with The Penguin rising up to fill the void and make Batman's life hell.

Following's Oz's transformation from crook and gangster to the man who rules over Gotham City's scum from the comfort of his Iceberg Lounge promises to make for a fascinating story. Bear in mind that, in many comics, Batman frequently visits The Penguin to get information from him, allowing him to remain free in exchange for his help.

Exploring that also promises to deliver a dynamic fans have never seen on screen before now.
